DISCONTINUED. Stable Queen AU, post3x09 with a twist. Against all odds, Daniel returns to life and is reunited with Regina. What appears to be their long-coveted happy ending is just the beginning, as obstacles surface that neither of them has foreseen. Regina & Henry feels. The story draws from From a Small Seed a Mighty Trunk Shall Grow but works perfectly well on its own.

Robin is annoyed when his ship refuses to sail without a certain shamelessly delayed passenger. While waiting for new wind to rise to finally set the ship in motion, he makes the brief, peculiar acquaintance of Mary Sue, who 'ships it' (whatever that means), and an equally obsessive community of people similarly afflicted. But the truly life-changing encounter has yet to follow…

Robin picks up Roland at Granny's, where Regina has been watching him. At one point, sparkles fly, and a certain item of Christmas decoration happens to be nearby.

Robin dresses up as Santa and a kiss he shares with Regina leaves Roland in awe and Henry in thought.

Part I: Back in the EF after 3x11, Regina strikes an unlikely alliance with Robin to help save his son and stop the Wicked Witch. Part II: The Dark Curse strikes and returns them to SB with Zelena still a threat. Canon with a twist. Part III: After the time warp, nothing is the way it used to be, and Regina with a few familiar allies is the only one with the tools to restore order.

Henry wakes in his NYC home one night to the sound of knocking on glass coming from an old mirror stowed away in the corner of his room. On the other side of the mirror, Henry discovers an Evil Queen very unlike the one in the fairytales. The two strike up a curious friendship that grows fast and begins to change Henry's life - before it turns his world upside down…

Regina and Tinkerbell share a chat and a few drinks. A slightly intoxicated Tink dares an equally tipsy Regina to kiss the first person to walk into Granny's.
